Bluetooth Headset Pairing (iPhone 3GS)

I purchased the *+Rocketfish RF-BTHP01+* (Bluetooth Headset - earbuds, behind the neck form factor) it's very cool, great for working out and listening to music.. Which originally worked fine, paired with the phone and was wonderful for about 6 months until today when i upgraded to the latest iPhone 3GS OS (3.1.3). All of a sudden it cannot pair anymore. I have no idea what is going on. Looked on the net and found that people are having similar problems, someone said to try to flip airplane mode off and on and BT off and on. Tried that, also tried resetting.. Neither of those seem to work. Any other options ?

Have you put then headphones into "discovery mode"?

  • What is the best bluetooth headset for iPhone 5?

    What is the best Bluetooth headset for iPhone 5 for talking no music?

    I've tried all the majors:  Bose (1 model twice), Motorola (2 models), Jawbone (5 models) in almost every model.
    Bose is good but such an odd nub just sitting there on your ear - bad athestics.  Device is fine but not right for me.
    Motorola seem to have troublie with iPhone specifically.   They don't stay paired and noise-cancelling has been bad.  I tried 3 pairs of the Elite Silver with no luck.  Great concept to have a case that charges the device but bad device.  Same issue with the Oasis. 
    Jawbones are good and I've had 5 of them.   They seem to degrade in voice cancelling quality over time based on feedback of people I talk to but they are solid.   I'm sure I just beat them up but they do seem to go bad. 
    My best experience have been BLUEANT, both the Q2 (bought 2) and teh Q3 (own 1).   Q2 are solid but they have this issue with a metal screen that inevitable breaks off, not affecting call quality but a pain.   Q3 have fixed that but they are just a bit bulkier.   Good features (voice answer & address book) and solid.  These are just awesome and good instant on that simply isn't true of all of the devices.  Only downside has been no battery meter on the Q2 for the iphone but a solid workhorse. 
    I just got a new Motorola Whisper and so far I'm impressed.   First motorola that has solid noise reduction and doesn't seem to have the random unpairing issue with the iphone.   It's early yet but great design and comes with a case. 
    I hope this helps.

  • I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email then.  Is there a way to fix this?

    I use a bluetooth headset with iPhone 5 but when I ask Siri to read my email she says I must unlock my phone first.  If I take the phone out of my pocket I might as well just read the email from the phone screen.  Is there a way to fix this so the phone doesn't have to be unlocked?

    Apple, as I'm sure you know, now manage official phone 'unlocks' directly rather than the Newtork doing so.
    When a GSM Network Provider buys a consignment of iPhone's they are locked to that carrier and may only be officially unlocked if said carrier requests it. If so, it is Apple who do this, via iTunes.
    I am therefore inclined to think that part of the any generic iTunes syncing process involves the transmission of key hardware data, including IMEI, to Apple whenever the handset is synced.
    If this is the case and, as each iTunes account is linked to a credit card, were Apple to maintain a database of genuinely stolen phones (ones reported to Police) they could advise said Police force when a stolen phone stuck its metaphorical head over the parapets once again? They would be able to identify the name & address of the new user.
    I have spoken to the Police here in Ireland today and they regularly engage with Apple on such matters.
    This may not be tracking as we know it Jim, (not using GSM Triangulation or GPS) but it's arguably even more targetted and leaves an indelible fingerprint of guilt on the thief.
    The laws here are simple in this regard, if you are in possession of stolen property, knowlingly or otherwise, you forfeit the goods once the Police show up. Whether you get prosecuted depends on whether you stole the goods or were duped into purchasing them.

  • HT1665 Bluetooth on my IPhone 3GS seems not function properly

    Bluetooth on my IPhone 3GS seems not function properly. How to check and rectify it.

  • I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.

    I cannot connect bluetooth between an iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4S. Any reasons this might be happening? Any suggestions on how to fix it? Thank you.

    To access iCloud all your iPhone needs is iOS 5 or later and an Internet connection, either via cell service or WiFi. Then just set up iCloud with the same Apple ID and password you've been using on your iPhone 4.
    You might want to consider just getting your iPhone 4 replaced by Apple. Based on the prices I've seen for iPhone 3GS units, Apple's replacement price isn't that much more, and you'll be certain of getting a working, non-hacked iPhone.  Apple's replacement price for the iPhone 4 is US $149.

  • How to pair iphone 3gs and 4th gen ipod touch? ipod finds iphone but iphone finds nothing?

    Just bought an Ipod touch 4th gen. for my son. I have an iphone 3gs and was hoping to pair the 2 by bluetooth and find an app so if he's in range i could locate him since most places he prolly can not connect to wifi. However, the ipod finds my iphone and neigbhors device but my iphone searches and searches but finds nothing? Few other questions, 1st semester ITSEC student going through networking class i see 802.15 blue tooth only has a range of about 30 ft so this prolly won't help me much if i do get them paired. When pairing throught bluetooth is this an AD HOC connection or is and AD HOC just using RF to connect nodes? Anyways if you have advice why my ipones 3gs is not finding other devices and the best apps or ways if possible to locate the ipod through my iphone in public?

    The iPhone does not support the protocols necessary to do what you want. Besides which, bluetooth is not directional in any way. I don't understand how you intend to "locate" him even if you could pair the two devices and they had unlimited range. You could set up the free 'Find my iPhone' service on the iPod and if it's on a WiFi network, you may be able to get an approximate location.
    As for why your 3Gs will not find other devices, the bluetooth profiles support handsfree devices such as headsets, A2DP audio streaming and bluetooth keyboards ONLY. You will never be able to pair it with another phone.

  • Apple Bluetooth Headset pair with more than one phone?

    HI there,
    Is it possible to pair the Apple Bluetooth Headset to more than one phone, obviously not at the same time. (I have an iphone and Sony ericsson phone and need to use it with both.)
    Thanks in advance for help.
    Regards
    Nick

    unlike some of the sony ericssons, the apple headset can only be paired with one phone at a time. that doesn't stop you from repairing it when need be, however...

  • Share bluetooth headset between iPhone and Mac

    Just got a Sennheiser MM100 headset (love it).
    I'd like to use it with both my iPhone and Mac. But if I've paired it with both, I can't seem to control which device will use the headset for audio when I turn it on.
    In other words, I'd like to be able to turn on the headset in the presence of both the Mac and iPhone, and decide which device I want the headset paired with on the fly, without having to pair/unpair the device or deactivate bluetooth on one of the devices.
    Any way to do this?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Any way to do this?
    None that I'm aware of.

  • Bluetooth headset paired but no output

    Hi all,
    I have a Nokia bh-700 bluetooth headset with a 2g/edge iphone on 2.0.2 firmware.
    The headset pairs fine with the phone, but the bluetooth icon on the main screen continues to stay dark gray, and it never turns blue even though the headset lights show that it is connected.
    The problem is when I try to make/receive calls, the output still comes out of the iphone speaker, and no output comes out of the headset. I'm sure the bluetooth headset works since it works on my macbook pro.
    I've tried turning wifi off, toggling bluetooth on/off, resetting the phone, pressing/holding random buttons on the headset (everything it says in the manual), etc.
    I googled this problem (not for this specific headset), and it seems like some other people have this issue.
    Anyone have any ideas or any fixes? I've also read some people who have the bh-700 and it works perfectly with the iphone.
    Thanks!

    Having the same problem with a Motorola headset, it syncs fine but won't drive the sound through the headset.

  • Capture button of bluetooth headset on iPhone. It is possbile?

  • How do you easily switch Bluetooth headset between iPhone and MacBook Air

    I Have a Bluetooth headset that can pair between my mac and my iPhone individually.  However I only want my phone when I'm out and when I get home, id like to click the Mac and pair the headset without having to set the Bluetooth into the "searching mode".
    Wondering if anyone else is having this problem.  

    For this to work the Drafts Mailbox should be set to live on the server, not locally.

  • Audio NOT functioning correctly after botched bluetooth headset pair attemp

    After trying to connect my bluetooth headset (Motorola HS820) to my Macbook Pro i am having issues with several apps including firefox and mediacentral. Audio from these programs will not play. I get an error message saying there was a problem with my bluetooth audio configuration.. However apps like itunes and skype function correctly..
    When attempting to pair my bluetooth headset the bluetooth assistant pairs it succesfully but when it connects it immediately disconnects.. after several attempts at tricking it to connect (advice from posts in mac.com forums) i have given up and deleted these devices from my bluetooth preferences and still have these problems..
    I'm assuming there is some config file still in place pointing these apps in the wrong direction?
    Macbook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.6) Dual Booter

    Just verified Audio is not working for me in safari either...
    Example i'm using is any video on youtube.com
    Edit: I guess this would be a problem with macromedia flash then?

  • Beaming contacts via bluetooth between 2 iPhones 3GS.

    Hi all, does anyone knows how I can beam a contact from one iPhone to another via bluetooth?
    It was said in the keynotes presentation that it's possible.
    I've tried turning bluetooth on both iPhones to ON, but all they did were searching for devices with no results.
    Tried going to Contacts to send contacts, but no bluetooth sending option is given.
    thanks for reading. help appreciated!

    No, you can't do this with an iPhone, and it wasn't "said" at any keynote presentation. Bluetooth data transfers to a computer or another phone are not supported at this time, and no announcements about this were made by Apple. This article summarizes the supported BT profiles in the iPhone:
